Viola Davis pulled up to the 2025 Golden Globe Awards in the same outfit she rocked to the 2024 LACMA gala; but this time, she rocked it with a twist– A dazzling rainbow cape. Her custom gucci dress was originally designed by Sabato Visconti.

The black sequinned dress was complemented by her shiny red lip, custom drop earrings, and her shimmery green natural nails which all contributed to make the outfit different from what it was last year.

The Cecil B.DeMille award recipient’s decision to rewear a dress is a breath of fresh air. It’s a bold move that challenges fast fashion, and encourages others to tilt towards sustainable fashion. Viola Davis highlights the issue of waste in the fashion industry which is one of the largest polluters in the world, with millions of clothing ending up in landfills each year.

By choosing to rewear this dress, Viola Davis is reducing her fashion waste and encouraging others to do the same. Her decision to rewear this dress, nods to the timeless nature of a good dress. A well-made dress can be worn multiple times. Sabato Visconti’s design is a perfect example of this, as the dress looks just as stunning as it looked in 2024. 

Viola Davis is a true icon, and her commitment to sustainability is an inspiration to us all.
